The Essential Addons for Elementor – Best Elementor Addon, Templates, Widgets, Kits & WooCommerce Builders plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's Filterable Gallery widget in all versions up to, and including, 6.0.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes.
